One of the many valuable things our father passed on to us was the leading by example of taking care of one’s neighbour and community. Following in his footsteps, we strive to carry on his work, going beyond the set boundaries to tackle issues that have become extremely important and require urgent attention. We do this by promoting the importance of territories, by sharing our experience and skills with the people who live there, by launching or participating in projects that im- prove the quality of life and by offering close and fruitful partnerships with the farmers who supply the best raw materials for our products. In recent years, inspired by the Barilla Mission “Good for You, Good for the Planet”, we have made important progress, offering products with significantly improved nutritional profiles. We have developed educational projects and other initiatives on healthy lifestyles in partnership with qualified public and private operators; we have fur- ther reduced the environmental impact of our work; we have opened our factories to the public and, embracing full transparency, showed them how our products go from field to fork, covering the entire Barilla supply chain. We are also aware that, despite continuous progress, we can always improve. The challenges we face are increasingly pressing and delicate. Climate change, the exploitation of natural resources, food security and unhealthy eating habits are always at the forefront of our minds, as we are all too aware that “the Planet is on fire” and there is no more time to waste. We believe that the most important mission for human beings and organisations is to leave a positive mark on the world, as a virtuous example of behaviour in the interest of the greater good of future generations and the Planet. Today more than ever, every person on Earth has the chance to play their part, even by simply doing the right thing. That is what Barilla, together with all its invaluable human resources, is committed to doing. 4 5 CHAPTER 2 | WHO WE ARE AND WHO WE WANT TO BE WHO WE ARE AND WHO WE WANT TO BE | CHAPTER 2 IN AN EVER MORE CHALLENGING NATIONAL AND WHO WE ARE AND INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENT, HOW IS BARILLA DOING?
